A couple of quibbles with Guidos new version:

Certain "upper-ascii" characters do not show on the command line
unless followed by a nonblank. One of those being the last(!) letter
of the Danish alphabet, "Ã¥" (aring). Very peculiar.

On drives mounted from a Novell server, R refuses to overwrite
existing .RData and .RHistory files on shutdown. Works fine on real
hard drives.

One strange effect has been seen involving the console font suddenly
changing to a proportional one, and I also had a couple of GPFs, but I
don't think I can reproduce them (yet).

One of my colleagues also said that there was trouble with releasing
files under NT. He was writing SAS commands to a file and the running
SAS on it after closing it, but SAS couldn't open it.
